Inside Out

We live in a world that spends a lot of time trying to make our outward appearance look good.  We always want to look our best.  This has always been a big challenge for everyone-especially those who want to honor God and impress God's people.

Anyone can make themselves look good just by focusing on the outward appearance.  We can look the part and not really be the part.  Outside everything looks good to others but inside is a different story.

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.” (Matthew 23:25–26)

Jesus taught that real change is from the Inside Out.  We are to deal with the things that are going on inside of us-like our attitudes, our emotions, our motives, etc.  We are to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal us to us and allow Him to change us on the inside.  When we change on the inside-then our outward appearance will change as well.   Today remember: INSIDE OUT.
